What is your ministry?

Currently, I do clinic work once a month in a mission hospital for a week, supporting the Christian National Medical and Dental Association in 7 nations of South Asia. I help young professionals across ICMDA's global regions by setting up and running various training programs.

When did you trust Christ?

In 1972, as a young college student.

What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?

As a young college student, I was challenged by a medical missionary to follow Christ's call for missions. Another moment was stepping out into medical missions as a young professional, where I faced many challenges in missions and missions leadership roles.

What do you hope to gain from participating?

Learning from others who have journeyed such ministry and connecting with other leaders.

What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?

I have led 4 Mission hospitals as head of the institution in rural North India. I have set up an HIV critical and home care program in New Delhi and was the Director. I have led Emmanuel Hospital Association (www.eha-health.org), a network of 20 mission hospitals and 40 community health projects for eight years, and I was involved in leading a team of around 100 young leaders across these institutions.

Why should someone invest in your ministry?

The above learning and networking can help young professionals across the 13 global regions of ICMDA.
